Fire Scene Evidence Collection Guide
This web site from the International Association of Arson Investigators provides evidence collection procedures and demonstrations for the most common types of evidence encountered at a fire scene. Collection procedures, checklists of important actions to do to ensure the integrity of the evidence collected, and an evidence-related FAQ are accessed from the top navigation bar. Select "References" to review the sources used to compile the procedures and "Contributors" for a list of experts who vetted those procedures.
Select a type of evidence to review its collection and packaging procedures.
Remember to also review the Checklists prior to collection and prior to releasing the scene.
